Were people always struggling this much mentally?

Everyone’s got some bullchit now...can we track this to the acceleration of social media or rewind 30 years were people still having this many personal/dating issues? What’s the deal? Is anyone happy?

No they aren't people are unhappy because the US is collapsing and they are addicted to social media outrage. We all need to unplug from the matrix but how do we do it?

Yeah there was a significant change in 2012 and then a major one around late 2014 to 2016. Lots of glitches in the matrix since 2014 as well. To me its like some kind of purgatory or dreamstate that I cant change. Just glitches everywhere. Cern also fired up in 2012 and since they found the Higgs boson nothing has felt the same.

I will try to make a video on Cern later tonight. And why i think that things changed in 2012 and 2014-2016.

What are you noticing that makes you think CERN is up to something?

CERN ain’t up to chit you conspiracy theorists need to get a grip. Social media has cemented perfection as the only outcome in everyone’s mind. It ain’t CERN

Bro people are weird now days. Why should I seek therapy when people are coming up to me talking about their wife's prosthetic leg, purple hair, rupaul super heroes and Harry Potter, and other weird stories? And other than that all people talk about is Netflix and food. I get a weird effeminate vibe from men these days too. At some point I have to question this reality.

Something very weird is happening.

What are you supposed to do when people just stand around talking about Netflix shows, food and how they fixed their car and chit? Nobody talks about anything interesting ever. This is ****ing insane how I have to go sit in the chitter just to get away from this

western society was always struggling on a very very thin edge. just needed a small push to drop everyone down. everyone hates everyone else on this side of the world

if u look at asian society during this time they're having the time of their lives, enjoying life to the fullest, as if nothing happened lol as always. quality of life is very poor here. it's because the quality of life between rich and poor is huge difference and most people fall into the poor paycheck to paycheck or severely poor category.
There is only one Hell: the one we live in now.

Man i don't remember any negativity from before 2012. It seems like that year things got dark depressing and negative overall. I remember in 2010-2011 especially everyone was so happy to socialize and talk about anything and we just went with the flow. Everyone connected with each other. Then smart phones and social media came along and things changed. It's almost like for most people their personalities got uploaded online and they are just a shell of themselves physically if that makes any sense. Not everyone is like this but this is the general vibe i get. I'm weird as **** now unless I'm in a place where socializing is forced. Like at my job I can talk normal to my coworkers but I act desperate and weird around anyone else. Even the way I talk is weird now so i cant just be trying to talk to random people about dumb ****, I'm weird now and very desperate. When I started feeling desperate is when I started to just put my head down and ignore everyone. Idk what else to do

We merged either in 2012 or very late 2014 to mid 2015 man. Or both. The mandela effect cannot be explained. There are at least several of them that millions of people remember different and it's the same memory. You can't just chalk it up as everyone got social media and it's collective false memory. That makes no sense with the top mandela effects.

We got transported to a sterile clown world timeline where everyone is huge/fat, people don't use critical thinking skills, people only seem to listen to dark rap music, don't want to interact with each other or just can't because people are too different now, politics rule the world and stuff like tik tok and only fans are popular

Everyone talks about Netflix and food and I see purple hairs and pitbulls all over the place now

Everyone under 30 is a liberal now when it used to be opposite

Before 2012 I could listen to the radio but how is stuff like cardi b and Billy English popular now? There's no way this list is serious

Idk it seems like the left want to take over everything and make it their own. The US is having some kind of liberal/marxist takeover i'm noticing it all over. Every decent thread gets spammed. They want to turn it into a Reddit echo chamber.

It's harder for a guy to find a romantic life partner if he's not in the top 20%. Feminism, social media, and dating apps have given women overinflated egos. They're conditioned to be super shallow and want to settle with a gigaChad. Even many of the ugly ones are like that lmao.
It was all just satire. Sorry if I offended anyone with my trolling and sickening posts. Peace and love to everyone.
